Hello,

Whoever wrote the CustomCodeGenerator will have to help you with this one. We know nothing about the underlying code they are using and therefore can't determine the cause.

Appears the error is it can't even load the report so there is something wrong with the workings. Open the report again in CR Designer and Verify Database and then check the changes you did. Something is not right or the DB driver their application is using does not match with what you are using.
